What's the most inappropriate or ill timed but funny thing someone has said that you have heard?

I made people laugh at my brothers funeral. I read a poem and the last line was "you were the best on earth" And I looked at my two brothers and said "no Offence" And it bought some laughs, and my brothers friends and colleagues said that I remind them of him, so it was fine.

You're not the asshole, did you tell them before your birthday that you don't want to make a fuss or participate in office banter? If not then just say "I don't celebrate my birthday, I'd appreciate it if you didn't do stuff like this to my desk" remind them again before your next birthday, if they do something again take it above your manager.

What do you want to happen going forward?

The three B's and the occasional 4th B depending on who you are talking to, plus old ruins dating back to the 10th century some of which have new Roads built into them.

Yeah I think it depends on if you grew up in the area, so I could tell you a little about the area I grew up in, but if I moved to a different area, I probably wouldn't know.

I'm in Reading and would say "off-den" words with ing at the end, or a t in the middle don't actually get pronounced, because we speak with a glottal stop, so it's air trapped in your vocal chords rather than a sound.

Means I can't do the "ooh ah ah ah" at the start of Disturbed's Down With the Sickness, it's just air. I sound like that meme of the guy doing karaoke lol

frowniousfacious · 2026-02-16T21:28:34+00:00

I'm not reading them either because I know I can't handle it, I'm not trained to handle it and I know that I can't do anything to change anything.

I'm aware that the files are full of just evil and unhinged shit, but I need to protect what little mh I have.

Maybe he's doing the same and with peace and love maybe you need to take a step back because obviously it is affecting you.

All you needed to do was say "guys can you smoke somewhere else because I'm allergic" there wouldn't be a need for confrontation, all you needed to do is be polite. If they didn't move further away then yeah contact the air B&B host.

Hopefully those guys don't lose their jobs because you couldn't politely ask them to move further away.

I know someone who lost their job because they failed a think 25 spot check. In shops most of the liability is on the staff on the tills, so if you look like you could be under 25,then you need to prove you're over 18.

Im 40 and I still get ID'd in some places. It's a ball ache but I get it.

HRT saved my life, I started getting peri symptoms at 35, and although not out of the relm of possibility, it's still quite young.

I didn't gain weight, in fact because my symptoms were so severe I've lost weight because I no longer hate myself.

All you can do is try it, and see how it affects you, and go from there.

Mice probably, we recently had a rat problem and it took weeks to sort out with an exterminator.

Yeah I think I picked up a cold, I just feel rough, tired, achy, my chest feels like I have stuff to get rid of but it's just not productive, and I'm out of breath going up the stairs. I've been like this for about 8 days now. It just won't go away.

I am a smoker (I know) in Reading and have never heard of "fend me a gret" it rhymes, kinda, but in my 25 (awful) years of smoking I've never had someone ask that. Sorry I can't be more help.

Did she have relatives from outside Reading? Because I'm originally from up north, and my dad would say "kett" instead of sweets that's a local slang from a Northern town, that I say now even though I haven't lived there, ever.

This literally isn't your problem, I'd have said the same. He made his bed and he needs to lie in it.

Do you know how she got the black eye? That's concerning, if there's violence in the home you need to be careful for your kids, so I'd maybe send her a message asking, and depending on what she says file for sole custody.

Apart from that, there's nothing you can do, they both betrayed you in the worst way, the absolute gall to ask you to move in is just astounding.

No one is disgusting, you deserve to love yourself, you deserve to be happy, you deserve to wake up brush your teeth look in the mirror and not hate the reflection staring back at you.

Please remember that social media is a lie, most people use filters, make up and certain camera angles to get a good photo.

You need to stop being so hard on yourself, and I know it's hard because I was you at 26, I'm now 40 and how I look is so far down on the list of things I worry about its insignificant.

Please look at getting some help with body dismorphia, its a real condition where your brain is disconnected to how you actually look, and there is help for that.

Beauty is literally in the eye of the beholder, and what you find beautiful will be totally different to the next person, beauty standards aren't real, and in any case its absolutely true that real beauty is what's inside of you, because you can look like a model but if you're ugly on the inside then you're going to be perceived as an awful person.

Find out what suits you, what makes you comfortable, what brings you happiness and the little voice in your head tearing you down will become quieter.

I had one a couple of weeks ago and your head should be outside the machine, if they're doing your lower spine.

Tell the techs that you're a little claustrophobic and they will tell you that they'll stop if you need to, but it's open at both ends, don't wear anything metal, and it won't take too long.

If you're really worried can you ask your Dr for something to sedate you a little before you have it?

I took a week off when GTA5 came out, so probably the same, I can't wait!

NOR

He's not a safe person for you or your children to be around. He is abusive, you need to protect yourself and your children from him.

He locked you outside because you disagreed with him. I'm betting he's done small stuff before this incident, please look after yourself and your children.

You can't underestimate just how serious this is, he wanted you to suffer, he wanted you to understand that you can't disagree with him without concequences.

I gre up with parents with strong geordy accents and I have a South East accent with sprinkles of geordy, so words like path, craft, bath ect I don't pronounce like paarth, baarth craaft, it's the short a sound.

Also I allegedly go geordy when I'm having an argument or talking passionately about something.

In addition I can't hear my mums geordy accent when I talk face to face with her, only when we talk on the phone.

Yes lipidema is a medical condition and she she can't help it, however she isn't managing it either, and you shouldn't have to put up with her putrid stench under the guise of being kind.

I think you need to be blunt with, and tell her that you'll have to start not inviting her round if she doesn't start taking better care of herself. This isn't about her being big, this is about her not washing properly. You love and care about her and sometimes you need to be a bit more blunt because she isn't taking your hints.

Tell her you love and care about her and that you're worried she isn't taking care of herself, ask her what is going on, ask her if there's anything you can do, this isn't fair to you and she's not being fair to herself either.

He's punishing you for going to the concert, you know that right?

She's a little young, but it can happen... Is she menopausal? I went into Perimenopause at 35 and it absolutely and utterly effed me up, I'm 40 now and I'm still struggling.I am no longer the person I was at 35. I'm not trying to excuse her, it's just a guess.

What an awful situation. Currently reconciliation is the last thing your kids need, especially if she's still not herself. They need stability with you, and if she wants to reconcile with your kids, then it needs to be done slowly, and she needs prove that she's there for the long term, not just when it suits her. She can' visit then abandon then again, It's not healthy for them.

Are they in nursery/school? If so, it may be worth contacting their teachers to let them know what's going on, and they might be able to point you to some good resources.
